| Computer Scientist | Computer scientists have a lot of complex problems. The obligations of computer scientist are to create new technologies with the using high levels of theoretical expertise and innovation. There are two ways to get the job. The first way is to be employed by academic institutions. In this case you may work on projects ranging from complexity theory and programming-language development to virtual reality or robot design. Another way is to work in the private sector applying theory. In this case you may develope specialized languages or designing knowledge-based systems and computer games.
Skills
The most important part for computer scientists is to be logical thinkers and good communicators. Moreover they must be able to multitask. At the same time they must pay close attention to minute details. They often work in teams. In this case computer scientists must be able to communicate efficiently and effectively with other personnel. It is such as programmers, managers, users and other staff with little or no technical background.
Education
Employers make requirements for computer scientists candidates. These requirements are to have highly-developed skills and related education. Also very important is to have broad background and knowledge. Often are required Doctoral degrees. It is understandable that relevant work experience will always increase a candidate's chances. Usually, most employers look for graduates with a bachelor's degree at least. It can be degree in computer science, information science or management information systems. In case employers are desperately seeking workers knowledgeable in extremely new, cutting edge technologies, formal education and experience, requirements can be partially waived.
Employment
In 2002, there were held about 23,000 jobs at computer scientists. Most of the jobs were found in computer systems design and related services. A lot of computer scientists were employed by Internet service providers, web search portals and data-processing, hosting, and related services firms. Another got the job with the help of government, manufacturers of computer and electronic products, insurance companies,  financial institutions, and universities.
Job Opportunities
The number of computer scientists is expected to increase much faster than the average between 2002 and 2012. It is happen in due to continued adoption and integration of new technologies. Also it is happen because of rapid growth in computer system design and related services. There is a need to replace workers who leave the labor force or move to other occupations and positions. Moreover there will be fueled by increased use of Internet applications in business, the growth of electronic commerce, the introduction of Wireless Internet.
